WARNING: Whirlpool water heaters are JUNK! Spent $553.00 for a high quality (?)
(lmao) water heater that had a 6 year warranty. Started leaking internally and rusted through, then rusted a hole in the bottom. 6 years and 3 months later they said you are S.O.L. Leak occurred well over 3 months ago but they said it has to be reported before the 6 years. DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY ON THIS JUNK!!!

Sorry Tom, it's not just the water heaters. Washers & dryers are junk too! 2 yr warranty, repaired twice in 2 yrs. 2 yrs & 2 months quit all together! I totally agree with you... Junk!
